Cowboys Cry Too Lyrics
Mm
He's as tough as the tattoos up his right arm
And I've talked him down from gettin' in a fight or two
He stands his ground, he's as stubborn as the weeds in the backyard
'Cause growin' up, he had to go where the wind blew
He hides his heart and hurt, guess he kinda had to
In a world that says, "Saddle up and be a man"
When the sun goes down and his hazel eyes go blue
That's when I understand
Cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown thinkin' they still got shit to prove
That well runs deep
But when he's showin' his skin, lettin' me in, that's when he's toughest to me
I never knew cowboys cry too
I grew up wishin' I could close off the way my dad did
'Cause that man never felt a damn thin' he didn't wanna feel
But I've burned too many miles tryna ride out all the sadness
But you can't outdrive pain, someday it's gonna take the wheel
Can't be alone, but don't wanna get close to anybody
Don't wanna bare teeth, but don't wanna look weak, it's a tough spot
But I'm afraid you'll walk away when the tears start runnin'
But I hope not
'Cause cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown thinkin' they still got shit to prove
That well runs deep
But when he's showin' his skin, lettin' me in, that's when he's toughest to me
I never knew cowboys cry too
Blame it on their fathers
The ones that said they'd stay
Blame it on the songs that tell you they all ride away
But mine ain't that way
I ain't that way
Cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown thinkin' they still got shit to prove
That well runs deep (deep)
But when he's showin' his skin, lettin' me in, that's when he's toughest to me
I never knew cowboys cry too

Lots of self reflection by Noah. Wishing he could be more like his dad who never showed his feelings, but realizing that running away from the pain doesn't work either.
